Album 2012

The Dawn of the Foremothers is Namgar’s new album recorded September 19-24, 2012, in Hanover,Germany with a team of international musicians. The goal of our recording sessions was to distill the beauty of ancient Siberian music of Namgar’s native Buryatia and frame it with the help of the contemporary instruments and cutting-edge sound technologies.

With this album we aspired to bring the distant past into the present and to glance into the future. Our collective memories never die, even when they recede into the dusk of years, centuries, and millennia gone by. Our mothers, mothers of our mothers, mothers of our mothers’ mothers… our Foremothers – they are the keepers of memories. The Foremothers are always with us – in our bodies, in our feelings, in our thoughts. It is to them that this album is dedicated.
